Why Kombucha Is The Best Drink To Get Addicted To

Kombucha has got to be my new favorite drink. I get them in bulk, and every time I'm out I always stock up on a few extra. It makes me feel so good and I wondered why. I knew it was super healthy, but I decided to do some research on it and I love what I found. So here are some reasons as to why you should fall in love with Kombucha.

My favorite go-to Kombucha to drink is Brew Dr. Kombucha. It comes in a cute little bottle and tastes amazing. I get it in a six pack from Costco. Yeah, I'm a Kombuchaholic.

The ingredients are very simple and natural. Most bottles contain the same main ingredients. I listed some of my favorite BDK flavors and ingredients so that you can see how simple each bottle is.

Clear mind contains: Filtered Water, Organic Green Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Rosemary, Organic Peppermint, Organic Sage, Organic Dandelion Root, Live Probiotic Culture

Lemon Ginger Cayenne: Filtered Water, Organic Green Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Ginger, Organic Lemongrass, Organic Cayenne Pepper, Organic Lemon Balm, Live Probiotic Culture

Love: Filtered Water, Organic Jasmine Green Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Lavender, Organic Chamomile, Organic Damiana, Organic Rose, Live Probiotic Culture

SuperBerry: Filtered Water, Organic Oolong Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Currants, Organic Elderberry, Organic Hibiscus, Organic Rose Hips, Live Probiotic Culture

As I researched Kombucha, I found six reasons why this stuff is so good for you.

1. Detoxification

The detoxifying capacity of kombucha is immense. A perfect example is in its ability to counteract liver cell toxicity.

2. Digestion

Kombucha supports digestion because of its high levels of beneficial acid, probiotics and enzymes.

3. Energy

Formation of iron is released from the black tea during the fermentation process. It also contains some caffeine (although in very small amounts) and b-vitamins, which energizes the body.

Through a special process known as chelation, the iron released helps boost blood hemoglobin, improving oxygen supply to tissues and stimulating the energy-producing process at the cellular level. In other words, by helping the body create more energy (ATP), the tea can help those who regularly drink it stay energized.

4. Immune health

The overall effect that kombucha has to modulate the immune system is best seen in its ability to control antioxidant measures.

5. Cancer prevention

Kombucha is also beneficial for cancer prevention and recovery. A study published in Cancer Letters found that consuming glucaric acid found in kombucha reduced the risk of cancer in humans.

6. Weight loss

Data from a study in 2005 showed evidence that Kombucha improves metabolism and limits fat accumulation.

All of these reasons rock. There is not one outcome from drinking Kombucha that is bad for you. Drinking it can only be positive.

Drink on!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
